Gay Hollywood is thankfully much more populous than it was when I first came out in like... 2008, I think. Back then, we had, like, Ellen DeGeneres, Neil Patrick Harris, a gaggle of Will & Grace actors, and Candis Cayne in Dirty Sexy Money. (Which I watched late at night after my parents went to sleep.) But even still, there isn’t an abundance of out gay actors, nor is Hollywood tripping over itself yet to open up roles and avenues for gay things to exist. The pool is mostly kiddie-sized. So imagine my surprise when I read that, allegedly, former Teen Wolf actor Charlie Carver was slapped by another gay man he’d worked with at an Emmys party in 2015, for being too effeminate “around people in the business.” Just who was it, exactly?
, claims a gay man he had worked with previously criticized him three separate times for being too obviously gay around Hollywood types. At an Emmys party in 2015, while waiting for the valet, Carver says he encountered his co-worker again, who slapped him. As Carver tells: “It wasn’t playful but intentional, pointed and meant to be instructive. A slap. I told him that if he ever touched me again, I would name him.” Carver adds that at that moment, he said to himself: “I can’t do this.
I wouldn’t say I was stunned when I read this anecdote, as I don’t think Carver needs this experience to be overly sensationalized. But my emotions did border on shock, as the story feels like something one would read in an autobiography about Hollywood in the ‘80s, from an actor who’s been out for decades. It absolutely does not sound like a happening at an Emmys party in 2015.The Boys In the BandCarver would share such an anecdote about one of them while promoting the film.
